Is this a good idea?

Alright, I just purchased a pair of PSB M4U2 Headphones. Over-ear with noise cancellation and a built in amp. Amazing headphones, punchy bass with fantastic mids and highs once burnt in. Anyway, I don't really want to buy a headset along with these, as I spent nearly $350 on them. So I thought I might just buy a desktop microphone with the ability to switch between Cardioid and Omnidirectional. I was personally thinking the Blue Yeti (Is it TOO sensitive?), as it's on sale right now where I live. I like the snowball as well. Is this a good idea? Or should I just give in and buy a headset and constantly switch between the two? Also is the Razer surround sound thing worth downloading or is it a waste of time? I've heard mixed reviews amongst my friends. I really appreciate any help you can give me! (I'd preferably like to only spend $130 maximum, the Yeti being an exception as its on sale for $90.)

You could try one of these, they stick onto headphones

The mics omnidirectional, so will pick up environmental noise. The 3.0 version is working on that.
They have a youtube video comparing the 2 versions.
They don't seem very durable though.

Friend of mine uses a modmic with a pair of Sony MDR-7520 headphones. The microphone looks flimsy but it isn't. It is flexable so you can bend it to whatever position you need. Audio quality is good too.
 
I have the cash to burn, so I'm willing to spend more for a microphone. Also I hear the extra wire for the modmic is cumbersome. Is that true?
 
I don't know about the wire. I don't use one personally so I have no usage experience. The main problem I'd see is two wires coming off your headphones instead of one.
